We all have various methods to release stress, we find such methods to keep us sane as the frustration that stress can end up building in a person's heart is no joke. You come home, your boss yelled at you for being slow, your best friend sprained her ankle during gym, your mother will be late once again from work, all of the tense situations in your life start piling up and you feel like drowning yourself into these waves of negativity.
Now, I believe all of you might have heard of how reading or more so writing can be a fruitful method of distraction. They are usually the stereotypical ways of releasing stress and recommending by many as well but what about 'poetry'?.
Has it ever crossed your mind?
Indulging into the unappreciative world of poems can be quite thrilling, mostly as this experience can never go wrong. It can remind you of the countless mystery's this world carries while also rubbing your back and assuring you everything will be 'alright'.
What even are poems?. A simple enough question that every grade schooler can answer as well but to explain it just for the sake of it: Poems are words compiled to create value or expression, they use words in a way to emphasize emotions. There are multiple types of poems but the main ones you should always keep in mind are the 'non-rhyming' and the 'rhyming'.
Venting out doesn't always require to be vocal
Words scream. We all know how much weight and influence they can carry. Words can dissolve a person's existence and save lives as well, it is rather shocking how it can work so contradictorily but that is what makes them so desirable and captivating.
Most of the time they are the reason for our gloomy days, if they can hold that amount of power towards us then we should be able to do the same. A pen and paper can be your best partners during such times, if you're one of those that dislike writing for too long then just write two words each for a line, that too can be a great way of indicating and illustrating your inner demons.
"I don't know where to start"
You can write whatever emotion you are experiencing onto a piece of paper, without fearing if it would look good or make sense. Emotions most of the time don't make sense. If your poems are non-rhythmic with slow nonchalant words, that doesn't make them any less invalid or childish. Poems were developed for human expression so if we don't utilize them for their purpose, then what would be the point?.
Let's take a simple enough example:
A small excerpt from a poem I wrote some months back, it describes a story of how a particular song on the radio reminded me of memories that were precious to me but long gone.
You don't have to be Robert Frost nor Emily Dickinson to be a poet, you don't need to be an expert at Haiku poetry to be called a renowned poet. Write what you feel at the moment and just let it be.
When you see words that you have in your mind and difficult to express through voice, it is important to just write them down somewhere and I'm recommending writing it in a poetic way because it can express your feelings on paper in a way that you cannot seem to explain.
Venting out doesn't always mean crying onto someone's shoulder, it can be in the form of a poem or just simple enough words revealing why you feel numb.
